The Singapore F1 2010

In about a couple more weeks starting on the 24 September 2010, the 3rd Singapore F1 Grand Prix night race will begin! Ever since the Singapore F1 Grand Prix night race started in 2008, many watch brands have made watches specially to commemorate the event.

Most famous of them all, we have the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Singapore F1 Grand Prix. Inspired by racing, the AP F1 watch is made from forged carbon and is limited to 250 pieces.


This year, the most impressive of all F1 commerorative watch has arrived. The up and coming brand, Hublot, lead by CEO Jean-Claude Biver, has manage to score another sports partnership as "The Official Watchmaker of Formula 1". Launched as the 1st official F1 watch of Hublot, we have the Hublot F1 King Power.

Look at this beauty!

Typical of the Hublot Big Bang series, this watch is 48mm and is made from Zirconium. The bezel is made to resemble the F1 ceramic disc brakes. The strap is made from rubber on the internal and Nomex on the external. Nomex is a material used to construct the driving suits wore by the drivers.

This is truely the most beautiful and best designed watch of the F1!
